Comment: Granville Island: An ex-industrial zone gone tourist mecca in Vancouver is an excellent place for dumpster diving. The public market maintains a premium standard so fairly 'still good' stuff gets put into the dumpsters.

"I used to work on Granville Island at the flower shop near that bakery and I would see people drag amazingly fine stuff out that was untainted by other stuff because it was in plastic bags. That dumpster was also used by Duso's Italian Foods, which is a fantastic deli in the market, so when I would be dumping our shop's garbage I would see some good finds. Oh and even our trash from the flower shop occasionally had reusable things! I used to see dumpster divers making up nice bouquets from our toss outs ... one guy even said he would collect flowers from there and head downtown to sell them!" -- December 2008
